27 May, 2019 presentation of the rarity from the museum funds was held within the framework of the project «Exhibit of the month». It is trendy gadget of Soviet citizens of the middle 1960s. This is a tricolor TV-filter for black and white TVs.

TV-filter superimposed on the protective glass tube, the edges of the film came in under the facing strips of the screen or attached with adhesive tape. As a result the image on the TV becomes color. The presence of a TV- filter in a Soviet family was special wealth.

In 1968 the first serial color TV was released in the USSR. Gradually the TV- filters went out of use.

The television filter is made of fragile film so the fact that this object has survived to our times can be considered unique!!!!

The exhibit was given to the museum by V.M. Stepanov a resident of the city. It was acquired at the end of the 1960s in the department «Culture» of the shop «Start» for 1 ruble 5 kopecks.
